9STANLEY, ALBERT AUGUSTUS (May 25, 1851, Manville, R. I.), at sixteen was already holding a responsible post as organist in Providence. In 1871–75 he studied in Leipzig under Papperitz, Reinecke, Richter and Wenzel. During the last year he was Richter's assistant and also occasional organist at the Nikolai-Kirche. After a year of teaching at the Ohio Wesleyan College, in 1876–88 he was organist at Grace Church in Providence. Since 1888 he has been professor at the University of Michigan and from 1893 conductor of the May Festivals. In 1891–92 he was secretary of the M. T. N. A. and in 1893 president; was a founder of the College of Musicians, of the A. G. O. and of the Manuscript Society; in 1899 was appointed American representative of the I. M. G. and in 1906–12 president of its American Section, and is an active member of the Musical Association of Great Britain. In 1889 the University of Michigan made him A. M. and in 1916 Northwestern University made him Mus.D. Besides his energetic development of the University School of Music, he has had charge of the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments, given to the University in 1898, and of this he has published an exhaustive and scholarly Catalogue, 1918 (2nd edition in preparation). His compositions include a Symphony in F, an orchestral Scherzo in D, the symphonic poem 'Attis,' a Suite in E for violin and piano, a Canon and Fugue in E minor for piano, the choral and orchestral works 'City of Freedom,' 'A Psalm of Victory,' 'Chorus Triumphalis,' 'Laus Deo' and 'Consecration Hymn,' and incidental music to Mackaye's 'Sapho and Phaon,' to Euripides' 'Alcestis' and 'Menaechmi' — the last three employing Greek motives and modes, and all with special accompaniment simulating ancient instrumentation. All these have been given on various civic or academic occasions. They are now published as Greek Themes in Modern Musical Settings, 1920, being Vols. xv. and xvi. of the Humanistic Series of University of Michigan Studies. [R.5]

14STATE MUSIC TEACHERS' ASSOCIATIONS began to be formed in 1876, many of them (after 1886) through the efforts of the Music Teachers' National Association. Some of them have been short-lived, but the majority continue and are extremely serviceable in bringing teachers into fellowship, in upholding professional standards and in advancing interest in American music and musicians. At times the National and the State organizations have been knit together in some formal way, but practical considerations prevent close official union. In recent years the State Associations have given increasing attention to problems of 'standardization' or the fixing of rules and tests for professional recognition. In several cases systems of examination and certification have been set up. The heads of all Teachers' Associations are banded together in an Association of Presidents and Past-Presidents.
